Environmental Control System Optimized for Small Scale Mushroom Cultivation

Abstract

The present invention relates to an advancement in a system primarily designed to he used for the cultivation of saprophytic mushrooms. It provides the basic necessities of mushroom growth, including fresh air exchange, humidity, light, and warmth. It also monitors environmental variables, including at least humidity and temperature, and other variables related to the system, such as water reservoir level. It transmits this information wirelessly via either Bluetooth or WIFI antennas, to an external system for recording and/or monitoring. The information from the sensors may also he used to form a closed feedback loop to control output of the systems controlling the environmental conditions.

We claim: 
     
       I: A system designed to be used for the cultivation of saprophytic mushrooms comprising:
 basic necessities of mushroom growth, including fresh air exchange; 
 humidity; optionally light; and., optionally warmth. 
 
     
     
       II: A system to monitor environmental variables, including but not limited to: humidity and temperature, and other variables related to the system, such as water reservoir level. 
     
     
       III: A system to transmit this information wirelessly via either Bluetooth or WIFI antennas, to an external system for recording and/or monitoring. The information from the sensors may also be used to form a closed feedback loop to control output of the systems controlling the environmental conditions.
